Hi,
i can access to my server using with putty, but when i change my password, putty shut down…and also i can not access the server if i try to use filezilla or winscp.
i am getting this error in filezilla Error: Connection closed by server with exitcode 1 Error: Could not connect to server
i am getting this error in winscp if i choose SCP file protocol
Error skipping startup message. Your shell is probably incompatible with the application (BASH is recommended).
i am getting this error in winscp if i choose SFTP file protocol
Cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running a SFTP server?
